What is Usenet

Usenet is late 70 years developed for the exchange of messages. Initially this was meant for discussion, so larger groups together about subjects could exchange their views. Today we know this as text groups, later it expanded to include other documents to exchange. Documents, photos, videos similar equipment are binaries.

The messages are distributed through thousands of Usenet servers (feeders) all over the world together in contact.

This is the News, Network, Transport, protocol (NNTP). On www.top1000.org is an overview of some of these servers to find their position in the contribution of spreading news in the world.

Providers with a Usenet Service, catch these messages and post them on servers (called: spoolers). As more and new messages are exchanged, the spoolers become full and to make room, the oldest items will be deleted.

What is retention?

Depending on how much storage a provider has, the articles has a time when they are retrievable. This time is also called retention. A retention of 10 days, implies that an article that was posted 10 days ago is still retrievable, but one article of 11 days old is not retrievable.

Cheapnews has a retention of 1200+ days, and we are growing to 1300 days!

In order to retrieve items, the user need a news client to contact them with the readers (servers that can retrieve items from the spooler).

What is NZB?
NZB files are a new method to download a lot more efficient. When you download a file, the headers will be retrieved first, their could be a delay in this work, especially when you downloading a larger file.

An NZB file are collections of Message ID's grouped in one file. This can be directly imported into your favorite news client and you can download instantly !
